Thus, this book has novel study, which is The Tree by F.Sionil Jose, and theater play study, which is Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw. It also includes representative texts of genres such as essay, which is Play as Literature by Joyce Carol Oates, and those of genres usually found in regular textbooks. The choice of texts is also based on countries whose influence as much as possible has been ubiquitous in Philippine Literature and history.
